We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful group of parents and staff who are

prepared to give of their time and work towards further improving our great school.

Harmony Week/Day

Last week was Harmony Week where we celebrated multiculturalism, and the successful

integration of migrants into our community. Harmony Week is about inclusiveness,

respect and belonging for all Australians, regardless of culture or linguistic background

united by a set of core Australian values.

As a school we engaged in activities celebrating Harmony Week during our wellbeing

sessions and then on Monday staff and students arrived at school dressed in the colours

of their heritage or in orange which is the official colour of Harmony Day. We held a

special assembly to celebrate the great work the students had done throughout the

week. Many thanks to parents, students and staff for entering into the spirit of the week

and celebrating our multi-culturalism.

Zimbabwe School Partnership

Through our connection with the Vermont Lions Club, and after much discussion

amongst students and our Student Action Team, we are hoping to raise some much

needed funds for a school in Uganda. The school is called Zengeza 3 High School and is

located in an area called Chitungwiza. They are very much in need of support to continue

the development of their vegetable garden and water.

Along with the Lions Club, we are hoping to raise enough monies to purchase and install

a water tank for the school community garden.

We will be holding a Free Dress and Crazy Hair Day on Friday 5th April to raise funds for

our partner school. ( gold coin donation)

More information is included in this newsletter by our Tyner House Captains, Hannah

and Aedan.

Assembly

Tomorrow is a Learning Celebrations Assembly. We look forward to hearing from

students about their work.

Our Choir and Glee Club will also be performing at assembly tomorrow at 2.45p.m.

Assembly Next Week

Next week is the last week of term and on Friday the 5th we will hold our final assembly

for the term at 2.00p.m. Children will be dismissed from school at 2.30p.m.

Have a fantastic weekend everyone, and …………..

replace all the chairs in the Multi-purpose room. The chairs are

longer lasting and stack so much better than the old ones!!
